“The Rock” cut off from Vin Diesel’s pleas to go back to production. He considers the words of a former friend to be manipulation.
In November 2021, Vin Diesel’s pleading pleas to Dwayne Johnson to return to the Fast and Furious series were echoed . It was his response to Johnson’s comment that the actor would not play in Fast and Furious 10 and Fast and Furious 11. “The Rock” in an interview with CNN Entertainment raised the issue of an Instagram post by his old friend. The emotional content, however, did not receive a favorable reaction from the actor. Johnson claims that the talks so far have been completely different, he also accused Diesel of manipulation:
Vin’s post surprised me. We met in June and I told him quite privately that I would not be returning to this series. But I wanted to be fair and keep my fingers crossed for this brand all the time, but I’m not going to come back. I’ve spoken to the Universal team and they all understand my decision.
Vin’s public post was sheer manipulation. I don’t like that he linked the children and the death of Paul Walker to this case. Let it go. we talked about it a few months ago and it was all clear. This is the end of my amazing adventure with the Fast and the Furious brand, for which I am very grateful. Unfortunately, this public post messed up a lot. However, I am sure that the ‘Szybka’ brand will still be able to attract many viewers, and I wish my former colleagues every success with the next part.
We would like to remind you that the planned premiere of Fast and Furious 10 is on May 19, 2023. Moreover, the tenth and eleventh installments of this series will serve as the two-part finale of the entire saga that began two decades ago.
